✨ Technical Specifications
Named after the traditional Aboriginal ceremonial gathering, RedHeads 'Corroboree' celebrates the coming together of passionate, independent growers and rebellious winemakers. This wine is crafted to capture the collaborative spirit of the RedHeads studio, sourcing premium parcels of Shiraz from select South Australian vineyards. Made in small batches with minimal intervention, it undergoes fermentation in small open fermenters followed by aging in oak casks. The result is a rich, expressive red that embodies the warmth and depth of South Australian terroir, showcasing dark fruit flavors, savory spice, and a velvety texture. It stands as a tribute to the ancient land and the modern community of craft winemakers who bring it to life.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 2002 by the UK-based Laithwaite family, RedHeads Wine evolved from an avant-garde collective of moonlighting South Australian winemakers into a purpose-built, eco-conscious estate in the Barossa Valley. Operating out of an off-grid winery in Angaston, the producer champions small-batch 'grape liberation,' sourcing distinctive micro-parcels from independent growers across the Barossa, McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills, and Eden Valley alongside its own eight-hectare certified organic estate vineyard. Viticulture and vinification prioritize environmental stewardship, confirmed by NASAA organic certification and international accolades for sustainable power and water conservation. In the cellar, head winemaker Alex Trescowthick employs open-top ferments, native yeasts, and sensitive oak regimens tailored to individual varietal profiles. The portfolio bridges Barossa power and aromatic precision, showcased through benchmark releases such as the 1888 Cabernet Sauvignon, Harmonie Rox Chardonnay, Triplex, and characterful Rhône and Mediterranean single-vineyard expressions.
